UPS, Teamsters avoid massive strike, reach tentative agreement on new contract

After months of negotiations, strike threats and walkout talks, UPS and Teamsters, the union representing 340,000 UPS workers, have reached a tentative agreement on a new five-year labor contract.
The agreement avoided what would have been the largest single employer strike in U.S. history and came after the groups resumed talks earlier this week.
"The overwhelmingly lucrative contract raises wages for all workers, creates more full-time jobs and includes dozens of workplace protections and improvements," a news release from Teamsters stated.
The Teamsters national negotiating committee unanimously supported the tentative agreement for the full new contract.
"We demanded the best contract in the history of UPS, and we got it,” said Sean O'Brien, International Brotherhood of Teamsters general president. "We’ve changed the game, battling it out day and night to make sure our members won an agreement that pays strong wages, rewards their labor, and doesn’t require a single concession. This contract sets a new standard in the labor movement and raises the bar for all workers.”
The five-year agreement covers U.S. Teamsters-represented employees in small-package roles and is subject to voting and ratification by union members, Jim Mayer, a UPS spokesperson, told the Courier Journal. Ratifying the contract could take about three weeks, according to previous statements from O'Brien, and Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman.

I thought the union jackasses here told me this was only for part-time people.

Unions have over stayed their welcome. We have federal labor laws now, we don’t need unions.

Not ideal but none of us can do anything about it. If it did happen my business would have suffered getting products from most of my distributors. They will push the cost increase to me and I’ll do the same to the customer.

I'm traditionally negative on modern unions, but I'm not sure why I should have a firm position on this topic.
I have no idea whether they were adequately compensated before or not. But obviously UPS workers had a ton of leverage based on how commerce moves in America. And they used it.

UPS full-time small package delivery drivers receive an average total compensation package of $145,000 per year. That includes $0 healthcare premiums, up to seven weeks of paid vacation, plus paid time off for holidays, sick leave and option days. UPS also makes contributions to a defined-benefit pension plan for each employee.

Our long-haul team drivers average $172,000 per year in total compensation. UPS pays $0.95 per mile after four years, nearly double the trucking industry average. This pay is in addition to the same industry-leading healthcare, paid time off, vacation, holidays, sick leave and pension contributions as our full-time small package delivery drivers.

Worked as a contractor for UPS a while ago. There aint no way in hell I would work for them without being union. Management is awful, work conditions are terrible there as well. Good for the workers!

Unions promote laziness and inefficiency in every workplace they exist.

Good news to the workers.

Generally I agree with you, but I rarely ever see a UPS delivery person not busting their arse to get their route done. I have no dog in the fight, but I do know if I were going up against the teamsters, there isn't much use in fighting. Those guys go hard in the paint like the New York mafia used to do.

Yep
And they still struggle to hire people. I bet the drug testing is a huge issue.
Meanwhile plenty of folks sitting on their asses doing nothing for the bare minimum to survive
